"Unprecedented" 3D magnetic interactions could change the computer

In an article published today in Nature's materials, a team led by physicists from the University of Glasgow describe how they were able to convey information from a series of tiny magnets arranged on an ultra-thin film to magnets located on a second film below. This new form of magnetic interaction makes it a two-dimensional phenomenon, a three-dimensional phenomenon, and the discovery could lead to advances in spintronics. "It's a bit like receiving an extra note in a musical lineup," said Dr. Amalio Fernández-Pacheco of the University of Glasgow. "This opens up a whole new world of possibilities, not only for conventional information processing and storage, but also potentially for new forms of computing that we have not thought of yet."
